Course Description

Autodesk Revit Architecture is purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM). BIM is an integrated process built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and into operations. By adopting BIM, architecture firms can use this consistent information throughout the process to design and document innovative projects, accurately visualize appearance for better communication, and simulate real-world performance for better understanding of cost, scheduling, and environmental impact.

Audience
Architects, engineers, drafts persons, and individuals who want to get certified in Revit Architecture 2010..

Course Objectives
The objective of the Revit Architecture 2010 course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. Most of the course is focused on Design Development tools - building the 3D model with walls, windows, doors, floors, roofs, stairs, creating reflected ceiling plans and furniture plans.
In addition, the course introduces students to the concepts of Building Information Modeling and the tools for parametric building design and documentation. Please refer to the course outline below for the full list of what is covered in the 2010 version.

Course Outline

FUNDAMENTALS

* User Interface: exploration of the streamlined user interface.
* Organize favorite tools and commands faster; locate lesser-used tools more efficiently.
* Conceptual Design
* Producing mass models using the free-form modeling interface, massing geometry and element associativity.
* Use the massing tools to convert object massing to components elements.
* Design Development
* Create detail drawings directly in the model using 2D and 3D drafting and parametric detailing tools.
* Construction Documentation:
* Create temporary and permanent dimensions, text and text styles, fill patterns, tags, arrowheads and symbols.
* Learn to create and modify schedules and to configure office standards for line styles and line weights to comply with other CAD standards.
* Exporting and Publishing
* Extended Compatibility with AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Inventor: including well as output to DXF, DGN and PDF file formats .ADSK & .ADPX Civil Design Exchange and Package files.
* Discussion of gbXML export for energy analysis.
